Token Authentication Support

[abhijit-Amagi]

Expectation : HLS Player in Thunderstorm should be able to receive HLS stream that supports token authentication, HLS CDN output we deliver should be able to support Token authentication for Mobile/PC clients consuming HLS stream delivered.

Steps

1. Enable Token authentication support with Wowza as source of HLS stream
2. Test reception of HLS stream with token authentication in HLS Player
3. Our HLS Player should be able to consume HLS with token auth support
4. Discuss with Akamai to enable token authentication on HLS out
5. Test token authentication support in jWPlayer as well as on PC.
   ( What shall be behavior when Browser is player e.g. Safari)?

How do we tie token authentication implementation with oAuth Token generated out of User's account?

• Many of our prospective customers may have this implementation and may ask us to enable playback only if User has logged in, how do we support that?
